We were moving out of state. All the signs were in place. The machine started its engine and cogs gained momentum. Dragonflies emerged from watery depths and followed us as though they were tethered to our shoulders. (Many cultures consider the presence of a dragonfly to represent change or transformation.) …
Over the weekend, I attended a social distancing graduation party. And by social distancing, I mean that I sat behind a six-foot folding table that separated me from everyone else. People are dirty. Seriously. While sitting like a social hermit on the other side of the garage, I attempted to …
What if everyday of your life costs you one dollar? This is an interesting concept that a very dear friend of mine created (or so he’s made me believe) and I would like to share it with you today. The four of us sat sipping wine one evening listening to …
